Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Patel has a beautiful bedside manner and is very thorough. He goes above and beyond to provide excellent patient care. He's the best physician I have ever been to. Thank you, Dr. Patel and staff!

Cervical Dystonia Dr Patel and Adrienne Arnold
Dr Patel and Adrienne Arnold at KCBJ are AWESOME. A year ago I was diagnosed with Cervical Dystonia thanks to Jennifer Watkins at Olathe Neurology. My Primary doctor Dr Sebgahti referred me to her. Jennifer referred me to Dr Patel. Thank goodness. He and Adrienne have been a life saver.. I went from debilitating to soo much better in a year. It takes time. They clearly said it will take time..baby steps. But it is worth the wait. They are so good. Them along with the Sertraline has definitely helped me to get back to my life as it used to be !!! Thank You Dr Patel and Adrienne!!!!

Great Analysis
Before seeing Dr Patel I seriously questioned that I had carpal tunnel. But doing his tests & answering all of my questions he proved to me that I had early stage of carpal tunnel. He also explained thoroughly that if I delay having surgery it could get worse over time. I appreciate his full explanation.

My Review on Kansas City Bone and Joints Company
My appointment was at 9:45am and I waited about 40minutes in the waiting room until the nurse came to get me. That is way to long to be waiting in the waiting room. The nurse didn’t apologized to me for the long wait. The first doctor that did my test was really nice and friendly. Dr. Patel was nice and very professional. The good part is the staff is friendly, but the bad part is you have to wait in the waiting room for a very long time.

The BEST!!
Dr Patel has been helping me for years with Injections for cervical dystonia. He is so good and has helped my pain and range of motion tremendously! He is so kind and friendly beyond being highly skilled! His patient centered and serving approach are so rare!! Especially from a physician who is so good at his craft and highly respected amongst his peers. (I was referred to him by my Neurologist originally)
